Wiring Connections - Russound AW10-LSUB-BR Installation Manual

Painting
The surface of the canopy and the port tube can be easily painted to match any
landscape décor. It is recommended that these be painted prior to installation.
Any high quality spray paint will do. Be careful not to paint the underside of
the canopy as there is a mesh insect/rodent guard at the base that can become
clogged and interfere with sound transmission if it is blocked. Mask this area
when painting.

Wiring Connections

Note: Before connecting any wires, make certain that the tap setting switch
(located by unscrewing the rear cover cap from the speaker) is set to either a
70v/100v position for 70v/100v systems or to the 8Ω position when used with
a standard low impedance amplifier or receiver.
Remove weatherproof
rear cap by turing it
counterclockwise
Available Tap Settings:
70V - 8W, 16W, 32W, 64W, 128W
100V - 16W, 32W, 64W

INSTALLING THE SPEAKER
When you are ready to connect the loudspeaker wiring, make certain that you
leave enough slack in the wiring to completely protect the wire after testing
the system by burying it at least 6" underground or whatever minimum
depth your local building code requires, or by protecting the wire in conduit.
Leaving a wire exposed can lead to inadvertent damage during lawn mowing
or trimming. Keeping the wire properly protected is essential to preventing
unwanted service calls in the future.
While maintaining the proper polarity of the wires, twist the wire leads
together and insert them into the enclosed waterproof wire nuts. Tighten the
nuts securely and then test the connection before burying the wire, closing
any junction boxes, or filling any wire trenchwork.
Adjusting the tap setting (volume level)
When used as a 70v/100v speaker, the tap setting should be adjusted for
each speaker in the system. Keep in mind that the total wattage number of
all speakers connected to the same amplifier including any subwoofers should
not exceed the amplifier's power rating, always leaving 20% of power as
headroom.
When you have finished adjusting the tap settings, make sure to securely
re-attach the rear cap of the speaker and hand-tighten it.
